Councillors

We have six member champions.

The role of Council champions complements the responsibilities of portfolio holders, and other Councillors with designated responsibilities.

Council champions focus on their area of responsibility by:

• raising the profile and demonstrating the Council's commitment to the issue
• promoting effective communication and positive working relationships both within the Council and amongst partners, stakeholders and community groups
• providing positive support, and on occasions constructive challenge, to officers in driving forward the Council's agenda on the issue
